Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tarantula Trooper" data-source="post: 241344" data-attributes="member: 37740"><p>This being a new world Tarantula the bald spot is where the T is kicking urticating hairs and is normal. Her abdomen is showing some darkening on one side from the pic and she could be about to go into pre molt and they will not eat anymore till the molt. When in pre molt they can become a bit lathergic and I see this more, in my experience, with my new world T's. Keep an eye on your T's abdomen and if the darkening continues he is going to molt soon. The abdomen will be practically black by time the molt comes. Keep us posted and hope this helps. Happy Spoodering!!</p></blockquote><p></p>
